- RLRobert LevyDec 17, 20255.06:00 on a Monday night I was returning home from a two-hour out-of-town trip, and my check engine light came on. My usual mechanic closes at 5:00, so he wasn't an option, but luckily my passenger who I had just dropped off lives near the Advance Auto Parts on Parham Road. On a whim, I pulled in there, entered the store, and was immediately greeted by a man whose name I learned was Isaiah. I asked if they do Check Engine diagnostics, and prepared myself for answers like "not after dark," or "not when I'm the only guy working," but instead was greeted with a cheerful and enthusiastic "Oh, yeah!" He came right out, I opened my driver's door and told him that I couldn't see the hood release in the dark, he replied that he didn't need it, and used a wireless scanner to do the Check Engine test. The code that came back was a harmless sensor malfunction, and he explained to me what it meant, and that I could get the sensor replaced, but really didn't need to. I thanked him, and went on my way. As soon as I started the car, the Check Engine light went off, and it hasn't come back on, now two days later. I thank Isaiah for his professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness, and I thank Advance Auto Parts for their no-charge Check Engine policy.
- CMConnor MaloneyOct 22, 20251.0Yikes. After customer in front of me finished their purchase, customer and cashier proceeded to have a long conversation about politics and baseball while i waited patiently in line as the only other customer in the store. I was not even acknowledged and left after 10 minutes of waiting patiently while they complained about the economy to each other. I will be buying my items on Amazon and not returning to this store again. Perhaps the problems they see with the economy are right in front of them.
- CCCorbinOct 4, 20211.0Sent my friend to the store to pick up rear brakes for her car. The employee Austin failed to ask her front or rear(I suppose she should have specified initially) then proceeded to order the most expensive brakes he could order for her car for the FRONT. Since stores don't stock this brand and it was special transfer I had to go to the store she initially got them from(not the one nearby) to get them exchanged for the right brakes.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
